Many thanks, Dongsok. Very interesting. The Met says about the first of
these:
Mozart's D-minor piano concerto, K. 466, requires the use of a pedal
mechanism as it cannot be performed with the range of the manual alone.
Does anyone know what passages this refers to precisely? How do modern
pianists handle them?
Thanks.
Dennis
